I would pick where you want to live the most as long as everything else is pretty much a toss up to you. 1/2 of residents stay in the region/area they graduate.

My take is 6 or 7 years old at this point. I interviewed at Emory, Utah, and UNC.
Utah really impressed me. I ranked it either 3rd or 4th if I remember correctly. I think there was some sort of whispers of drama a year or two after I interviewed there and I don't recall any of the details of that, I think it was call related and then subsequently people said it was fixed. They seemed to have a very well balanced program and I seem to remember that they had put real thought into improving the therapy training. I'm curious why your takeaway was that they were lacking in psychotherapy?
I didn't have strong opinions on UNC or Emory, they're solid programs but no big special positive vibes from them. I also don't particularly like ATL (having spent a good amount of time there) and wasn't impressed by Chapel Hill.
So I agree, choose where you want to live. I think they are all solid programs unless there's some specific negative about Utah therapy training that I missed.

This is all 3rd hand info.
I generally hear really good things about Utah. It is generally described as a diamond in the rough. Graduates actively talk about it positively and enjoyed training.
UNC is pretty good. I don’t hear the best reviews, but overall pretty good. I really like the Carolinas. Beautiful place and technology in the area drives innovation in mental health. Maybe just my experience, but I felt like the Duke group did more advanced therapy nearby.
Michigan is generally neutral. Some like it and some don’t. I’ve never personally met someone that loved or hated it.
Most dislike Emory that I’ve talked too. The one graduate that really liked it self-reports that reading is his least favorite thing to do. He loved the constant work at Emory and actively tried to never pick up a book. The others I’ve met from there worked hard and didn’t enjoy the city like they hoped. I hear good things about the teaching, so I don’t doubt the good education. I just don’t hear anyone say it was enjoyable.
